Bull -blam!- a CPU can do graphics, but rather slow process, that is y graphics card does all the graphics side of thing and soon thay will nearly take over the CPU side of thing as well as thay get some what rather advansed... The whole reason of a graphics card is ta simpley free up lotta CPU cycles.... And i mean a lot of CPU cycles by at least 1000% with ur latest new brute NVIDIA card SLI....
Same with a sound card, u could let ur CPU do all the work, but it be much farster for a sound card to do it.
Again all of this is to loosen the load of the CPU, couse y would manufactures design and build these cards just ta make ur computer look good....
Okay to start CPU CAN'T do graphics. You're wrong, straight up. It can do 2d graphics, old "doom" 3d graphics, and that's it. Find one computer with no GPU that can run Call of Duty 2 and you get a cookie.
The only thing you're right about in that entire post is the sound card. Yes, you can get 7.1 surround sound with a CPU but it will kill your FPS.
